AntiBotLinks

AntiBotLinks is an easy to install self-hosted image captcha library. Through a predefined dictionary, the library generates images that must be selected in a specific order.

This captcha solution may not be 100% secure against bots, but in combination with other popular captcha services, it will be an extra layer of security for your platform.

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require miguilim/antibotlinks

Usage

To get started with the package, you must use the make() static method and pass as first parameter an identifier string. This identifier parameter will be used to store & get the generated challenge and solution.

Use Miguilim\AntiBotLinks\AntiBotLinks;
use Miguilim\AntiBotLinks\CacheAdapters\SimpleFileCacheAdapter;

$antibotlinks = AntiBotLinks::make('1', new SimpleFileCacheAdapter(__DIR__ . '/cache'));

var_dump($antibotlinks->generateLinks());

Generally you should use the user id, ip address, or a generated cookie.

Cache Adapters

In order to use the AntiBotLinks class, you will need to choose a cache adapter so it can store the generated challenges somewhere. The package ships by default with the following adapters:

  • \Miguilim\AntiBotLinks\CacheAdapters\LaravelCacheAdapter
  • \Miguilim\AntiBotLinks\CacheAdapters\SimpleFileCacheAdapter

However, you can create and use your own adapter extending the abstract adapter class:

use Miguilim\AntiBotLinks\CacheAdapters\AbstractCacheAdapter;

class MyCustomCacheAdapter extends AbstractCacheAdapter
{
    public function remember(string $key, int $expiresIn, callable $callback): mixed
    {
        //
    }

    public function get(string $key): mixed
    {
        //
    }

    public function forget(string $key): bool
    {
        //
    }
}

Generate Links

You can generate / retrieve captcha links using the generateLinks() method. You can pass as first parameter the amount of links to generate. This method gets the generated links value from the cache, and generate if links are not found.

$links = $antibotlinks->generateLinks(amount: 3);

Validate Answer

You can validate the user answer with the validateAnswer() method.

$antibotlinks->validateAnswer($answer);

Flush Links

You can flush the current cache value and force re-generate a new captcha challenge. It's highly recommended to use this method when the user sends a wrong a answer.

$antibotlinks->flushLinks();

Customize Options

There are some few options that you can enable / disable when generating AntiBotLinks image.

// Enable or Disable image noise (Default: true)
$antibotlinks->noise(value: false);

// Enable or Disable image background (Default: false)
$antibotlinks->background(value: true);

// Enable or Disable dark theme (Default: false)
$antibotlinks->darkTheme(value: true);

You can also customize the word universe. You can overwrite the word universe or merge your array with the default one.

$wordUniverse = [...];

$antibotlinks->wordUniverse($wordUniverse);
// Or...
$antibotlinks->mergeWordUniverse($wordUniverse);
